2025 World Association Croquet Championship – The last 16
16 Players remain in the World Championship being played in Florida. The event started with 72 hopeful players from 15 different countries.
We are all watching the WCF Association Croquet World Championship and supporting our favourites, our friends, club mates and family members. Messages of support for the players are coming from far and wide to encourage all the players in the tournament.
A special message of encouragement comes from Mark Atkinson, Investor Relations Manager for Alliance Witan, who has been following the progress of some of the England players, having met them at the recent MacRobertson Squad Training event.
Mark says “It has been enlightening to see the players in action at a World Championship. Their expert precision and tactics are clear to see and of course helped by the welcome commentary from the livestream team. Good luck to the England players, especially those who are hoping their performances will secure their places in the England MacRobertson Shield Team 2026.”
The World Championship is their last opportunity to show the selectors their skills and determination ahead of the team selection, set to be announced in November 2025.
England players in the last 16 of the knockout stages are:
Alain Giraud (Croquet England)
Robert Fulford (Tunbridge Wells Croquet Club)
Mark Avery (Croquet England)
James Death (Cheltenham Croquet Club)
Alliance Witan are the proud sponsors of the England MacRobertson Shield Team 2026.
